Sorry for my English. Bat, haw I can change my IMEI on Magician? Is there anything as xda-manipulator for Magician? In our cantry change of IMEI is full lagaly action.
Tank in advance...
I didn't think you could as it was tied to the unit itself.
It may be legal in your country, but to most of us changing IMEI = stolen goods. Coming to a Magician forum and asking how to cover up a stolen Magician may not be very popular...
Please be aware that I am not accusing you of anything. I don't know you and most likely you have paid in full for your Magician. I am just making a general observation here...
Are you shure on 100%?
Are you shure on 100%?
You've got to ask the question, what legitimate reason could someone have for changing an IMEI... then you've got to ask yourself, what if it was my Magician that some rat had stolen... would I want to tell them how to change the IMEI and use it?
Secure you privet life!
My reason is following. I don't like, wenn my privit convercation is offen for goverment. So, my reason is privecy.

Hi,
change the IMEI is not illigal at all, law change from country to country, here in Italy a lot of people say that but no one refer the exact lex that say this.
In Italy the a e'shop that sell a phone that change his IMEI everytime u change the SIM, and the shop is regular and lega and up since few years.

I know you have been trying to get your Hermes working (from your other posts) - bottom line is, yes it may be blocked.
Demand your money back as it's not working. If the phone is blocked then tell them it will be a matter for the police to resolve unless you get your cash. (Legally speaking of course if you suspect it's stolen you should report the matter to the police - some poor sod is missing a Hermes and may not have been insured)
In nearly all cases it's illegal to change the IMEI. As you rightly assume if it's blocked it's stolen.
Mike
Technically you cannot do anything except inform police.
Returning it to the place it was purchased would mean you commit an offence of handling stolen goods if you suspect it to be stolen (which a blocked IMEI might imply).
Thx folks better i will go give them back this phone. thx for help.
i have a new 6500 classic.. it is a gift for me from my friend.. but in Turkiye we can not use not legal order phones... i have an old bad phone... i want to take old phone imei to new phone?

yanlış yerdesin !
Burası HTC-PDA forumu !
Here is HTC-PDA forum !
No one here is going to help you with it. It's illegal.
it's not only illegal, but you're asking for it in the wrong place too... get your act together...
It is inpossible to change IMEI of BB5 phone, some people claim that it is possible with hardware modification of PCB but noone ever tryed (even the experienced ones)
do a google search for more info
Hi everyone: I came another time with a curious problem.
I got a vodafone Spain v1620 (PH20B2) apparently with touchscreen problems only. I got the maainboard and installed it into another BA I have with other problems (that
markanthonypr and + Que ppc knows perfectly ).
I have done all the procedures just to unlock it and know the situation is: with a movistar sim the BA recognize it, gets signal.... but if you make a call the phone hangs up inmediately, and if you call from other phone to the BA the movistar service tells you "this action is not available".
That means the phone cames broken?
I have also to say that I've tried, with the wises advises of Xplode, installing a vodafone rom (but I only got the UK one) and nothing.
Any idea?
I answer myself
After some investigation, I asked the vendor on ebay and he told me he "found it" the BA. I suspect in no well way the kind of finding he did. Even though if he really found it in some place, I think vodafone has lock the phone through blocking the imei. That means I have a wonderful pda with no phone.
Haven't I?
And also means there are people interested in doing business no matter they have to lay.
carred66,
To answer your question, if the device was indeed stolen, then you are 100% correct about your statement of having a great PDA with no phone due to IMEI blocking.
If you bought it off ebay, you should return it to the seller asking for a refund. AFAIK, ebay has rather strict policies on "found" goods.
Having said all that, unless you are contributing with something to the forum (programs, skins, roms, patches, etc.), please refrain from opening new threads. While I understand that your problem was kinda unique and did not seem to have an answer from us, that does not mean that you should open a new thread with your problem.
I know that you are aware of the Q&A section because you have several posts in there, so please keep on using that unless you have something to contribute (then, you can have your own thread )
Thanks.
copy that!
But the seller sold it only telling that it had screen problems.
I think it'll works out of Spain. Thats funny, isn't it?
maybe if you want... to spend money for it...
I mean just for the grace of have a BA working well!
You can make the IMEI Check and pay a little money maybe they can make something for ya...

Hello everyone,
Well, here I am again... Seems like the last question is too long or maybe too hard so, no one reply or give me some idea...
This one is easier... After over a month that my Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 can't use as a phone... I decided to call Samsung Service today and the Samsung engineer there told me that... because the phone that I have is the outside country phone so, when the operator knows that I use the phone that is not paid tax to import they cut off my signal that's why I can't use this S4 phone as a PHONE!!!
The Samsung engineer advise me that I need to change the board which will cost me about 6500 bahts and because my phone is not in warranty I have to pay another 1000 bahts for service, which means I have to pay about 243 US. Dollars for them...well let's say 245 US.Dollars...in case the currency change tomorrow...
The status of the phone is all unlock... Since the very first day that I bought the phone it can make call and connect 3G, can connect WiFi...can do anything this S4 phone supposed to do for me until the efs corrupted and imei and serial numbers changed... after I fix all the problem the phone works fine except can't make any call... said not registered on network...
So, my friends... please, advise... Do I really need to change the board(for 245 US.Dollars) to make the phone becomes a PHONE again or...there is another solution for this...(Maybe I should buy new phone...that's not Samsung...)
Is it true that...when your operator knows that you use the phone that's not for your country they will block your signal...?(I use prepaid phone...) I asked my operator they said it's the phone's problem...well the Samsung guy said it's the phone's problem also and the only way to fix it is to change the board...(Seriously???... :crying
I've ever use the phone that I bought from outside country before... It works fine... maybe because it never had imei problem...
Please, I need your opinion... tomorrow I'll go see the Samsung guy... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Angel S.

Sounds like a bogus story to me, bought my I9505 in Germany yesterday and use it without problems in the Netherlands. Connected to the T-Mobile network (data and speech). Maybe your phone (Imei) is listed as stolen and blocked from the networks.
Imei is clean...

So, turn it in for repair or request a new device. Should be covered by warranty, so no issue if you`re legit. Don`t go asking here how to change the Imei number or i`am going to report you to a moderator.
Do you understand English...?

I think I make myself clear enough... I posted in here 3 threads. All questions about how to fix my phone's problem. In those threads I told everyone that my phone has no warranty with Samsung... That's why I need some advise from people here...
This thread... is about... DO I REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THE BOARD? FOR FIXING MY PHONE'S PROBLEM...(CAN'T MAKE ANY CALL...) NOT HOW TO CHANGE IMEI...!!!!!
Can't you see?... DO YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH???...
I need your opinion... if you think there's no way I can fix the phone back to normal to make it can call in or out...then I will go to Samsung and said I give up... Just change the board no matter what it cost...
So what do you want from me huh???... Just read the thread carefully before point your finger at me... I REALLY HATE THAT!!!

If you haven`t backed up your EFS folder and so cannot restore it then yes a new board is the only way to get it to work again. Here is a link about EFS http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...2dkJLSsPmgeBTBMgifxyhGA&bvm=bv.49641647,d.ZWU. There are many more links on Google.
Thank you...

Ok...thanks for the link... and sorry for my temper... you have no idea how much stress I have, it's been over a month now that all I can do is searching through internet read thousands of threads and comments and here I am...only few steps to the goal...but I can't reach it...
So, please let me explain a little bit more of my situation...
The phone works... I can connect to internet. Use social app like whatsapp, line, facebook, twitter and many more... but can't make any call... the imei is also fine... when I dial *#06# it shows up my original imei... the serial number is fine...when I check the phone's status it shows the original S/N, The baseband is also shows in phone's status too... the signal bar is full most of the time...
So, the only thing is not fine is... I can't make any call...(even the signal is full...) that's all... when I dial number and make call it said "Not registered on network" I have the efs backup now. The good one...so, thank you for the link...actually I've ever tried that before but I guess it doesn't hurt to do it again...
Tomorrow I'll meet Samsung technician... to see what he can do...
Best regards,
Angel S.
